A lovely suburban cafe with a good menu. All day breakfasts. 8.30 - 3.30. full cooked breakfasts as well as hot cakes and a great range of other menu items. Lovely selection of very fresh looking cakes and slices at the counter. The service is friendly and quick but unobtrusive. There are outdoor tables with umbrellas. the cafe is also licensed with a good selection of reasonably priced wine.
Friendly, intimate local cafe. Warm, friendly service. Food is delicious and menu has vegetarian options. Yummy cakes and deserts available to take home.
Great little known Brunch spot tucked away just behind Laburnum train station! Highly recommended! The service is always great and reliable. The big brekky an absolute classic and is reasonably priced and portioned. Thank you to all the staff for making this a great place to hang out in on weekends!
Lovely little cafe, great coffee and a beautiful hollandaise sauce. Great vibe to the place as well.
The staff are really considerate if you are gluten free.
Food and coffee are good. Plenty of parking at 2pm. I like their dessert too but I did not had some. Overall, a friendly local cafe that is worth visiting and not overprice
Made a lunch visit here on fair weather to a near full house after 1pm period. Car park spaces were limited with more street side parkings available.
Situated in a corner surrounded by trees, their outdoor seating is as big if not bigger in capacity than their indoor dining area. Interior is a seasoned and established, traditionally and simply styled suburban cafe.
The Alan's Big Brekky was indeed a big portion. I would even suggest that it would be just nice for 2 adults to share. The breakfast food combination went well together but the poached eggs were a little overcooked this time.
The omelette was very cheesy, not salty, simply presented and interestingly paired with a few raisin bread sticks.
Priced just slightly on the higher side, it's a really nice spot for locals in the area for a relaxing good meal or catch up over a coffee & snack break.

This is a lovely spot, especially for breakfast or brunch outside on a nice day. Situated in a peaceful spot, you can sit under the shady trees, with very few cars passing by. It has a really nice village ambiance. I have been coming here for quite awhile, and as others have noted, the menu hasn't changed. But that's what I like: knowing that I'll be able to get my favourites, especially for breakfast, and there is enough variety on the menu in any case. The food and coffee is usually good, and the service is fine.
One of two little cafés tucked away in leafy Laburnum. The decor is a little olde worlde, befitting a converted 1940ish shop. Tables and chairs are plain timber, and the wall features are deep plum. There are some tables for outside dining.
The menu wasn't resplendent with vegetarian fare, but I opted for the veg focaccia, which was middling good, and came with a decent salad. It was filling and inexpensive. The coffee was also reasonably good. The cafe was quite busy and noisy, and the service wasn't as attentive as I would have liked. I had to seek attention to get a table and to order. Water was eventually provided. This cafe was full of patrons, while the one several shops away was empty - obviously the choice of the locals.
Gourmet Girl is great for breakfast or light lunch. The staff are always friendly and accommodating, we accidentally spilt coffee once and they were very kind about it. The food is simple but very fresh and scrumptious. Gourmet Girl also do Tapas reasonably priced.
TIP: Do try the Toasted Chicken Combo Sandwich -it goes down wonderfully for lunch!
Laburnum Station is where this Whip and Wasabi 'the super pup' discovered EPIC coffee today! (No photos as she refuses to sit on the FREEZING CONCRETE when it's cold).
How was? Quiet. The decibel counter registered 35dB. That's a library, during SHH time (that was outside in the 'traffic'...the occasional car). Outside is leafy. It's perfect.
The regular, strong Latte was $4 and ticked every box we can imagine. Well done 'Gourmet Girl' the Whippeteers will be back!
Long opening hours, good coffee, nice food, heaps of outdoor seating 👍
Very busy restaurant, there are many dishes to choose from. Didn’t order coffee but food was quite yummy!! Great place for brunch!!
Had a pretty good lunch here today. Prices were fair and the quality was good. Service and atmosphere a bit lacking, but would go here again. Ordered a tea and found the serving very generous (pictured). Menu is quite large for such a small place, and food was served within 15 mins.
Cosy little local spot right behind Laburnum train 🚈 station. This adorable little cafe reminds me of visits to Nana's house, photos of friends, family and staff adorn the walls proudly with an old metal fireplace for added warmth of needed. Plenty of space inside and out with a small heated section outside.
All your usual suspects on the menu for breakfast. As well as a reasonable lunch menu too. I really enjoyed their mushroom and 🦆 duck leg risotto.
This is a place you visit for the overall atmosphere, good food & staff.
Coffee being their only weakness at this point, but everything considered great little local cafe.

A lovely cafe with super friendly staffs. Great coffee and delicious food that comes in generous large portions. They also have a spacious outdoor area for those that like to enjoy some fresh air whilst indulging in great coffee and food! Recommend!
Loved the bacon and eggs. Really well cooked bacon lovely chutney and excellent (perfect) poached eggs. The toast was a bit of a let down. Soggy. The coffee seems to only be a single shot in the mug which just isn't enough (very milky). Good atmosphere for family.
Lovely staff, lovely setting and lovely food. Picking up lunch from Gourmet Girl while at home locked down is a treat to be had. I love the iced coffees - have been taking family for lunch there for several years now and cannot wait to visit once open again - a favourite for lunch
Been a few times for brunch with a friend, but upped it to lunch for Christmas. Grilled calamari salad as excellent as was the glass of sauv blanc we had. Coffee always good as are the staff.
